when the drone hate i was outside with my grandmother everything became dark i was scared aback as any girl who survived a u.s. drone attack travels to washington to tell congress how our home was destroyed and her grandmother killed. also this week angered by n.s.a. spying and e.u. delegation fails to get explanations from u.s. officials germany turns to edward snowden to get out stories about the tape the tapping of chancellor merkel's phone. with brazil germany firearms. and the state is going to repeat itself continuously here from n.s.a. leaks reporter glenn greenwald who says u.s. intelligence will continue to harvest data despite outrage from the public and its

allies. and behind the barbed wire are two reports from inside guantanamo prison where over a dozen detainees are still on hunger strike in a bitter protests over their indefinite detention and mistreatment. it's five pm on sunday evening here in moscow you're watching are to live with me and use in our way we have the latest news and a look back at the week's top stories. a pakistani family who lost their grandmother in a cia drone strike traveled to washington this week to testify before congress or she's going to can was at the emotional briefing where family members asked u.s. lawmakers why their home was targeted in the first place. this was the first time

actual victims of u.s. drone strikes were in congress and apart from the congressman who initiated this briefing i saw only four other members of congress it's no secret the u.s. congress generally approves of growth strikes so it's very difficult to expect a sudden change of heart even though heart was what these drone victims were appealing through on a par with twenty fourth of last year a u.s. drone strike left this pakistani family devastated a nine year old girl and her thirteen year old brother nearly escaped death that day their sixty seven year old grandmother was killed vegetable garden. i no longer love blue skies i prefer the gray skies the drones do not fly when this kinds agree and for a short period of time the mental time and fear eases between this the drones return and so does the fear you know this family has never been abroad out of their home in north waziristan and the father of this family said he looked at the life around here. he wished his children to be able to walk the streets not afraid of

being bombed at any moment. my mother was killed my children were injured i'm so glad that people are going to hear our story that's why we came to america i have no idea why our village in my house was talking to. the family came to washington of course hoping to get answers to why they have to live in fear every day i have no idea why my grandmother was killed when the drone hate i was outside with my grandmother everything became dark i was scared so i started to run then i noticed my hand was bleeding so i tried to clean my hand but not kept coming out but i was very scared so i just kept running. we also learned that the u.s. government did not grant these to the lawyer of this family prominent practice any lawyer who has sued the cia in the past on behalf of the victims of drone strikes in pakistan four hundred fifty thousand vocalisation of. music. see living in

a concentration camp where they're being picked on this is off work kind of close to if someone has long been or someone is driving the mess you he and this is how they're being targeted and at the same time they're not really in a position to leave the area the purpose of this briefing was to put a human face to drone strikes there's a short chance that in congress the tragedy of this family will fall on deaf ears but there is hope that the public or private notice in washington i'm going to check out. the u.s. claims few civilians have been killed by the three hundred seventy six drone attacks which have been launched over the past decade local reports however suggest that at least nine hundred innocent people including up to two hundred children have been killed documentary filmmaker robert greenwald took the story of the rehman family and inspiration as inspiration for his latest movie and says the public doesn't understand the real consequence of using drones people want to

believe in santa claus and they also want to believe that there's a simple solution to these incredibly complicated problems when we started reading that the drones were killing only high value targets soup represented an imminent threat it doesn't make sense it's just not possible so i think there was a kind of hopefulness yes finally we found a magic pill which is part of it some of it is the fact that american soldiers warrant there so people said it doesn't matter as important is that you know the family is speaking to all kinds of americans people who have. looked at them and can't justify the killing that we've done and then you have this extraordinary militarily industrial electoral complex bipartisan that agrees that the way to solve problems is by invading occupying and droning we have to change all of our. and the drone campaign in pakistan may have thwarted

a chance for peace a u.s. strike killed the taliban leader in pakistan just as the government was prepared to start negotiations the details coming up later in the program. diplomats who traveled to washington this week seeking explanations about the n.s.a. spying activities left without answers the m.e.p. delegation complained the u.s. provided no clarification over eavesdropping on the world on world leaders and whether the white house had any knowledge of it if scribed america's response was feeble and warned it could aggravate relations berlin specifically has been angered by the tapping of chance chancellor angela merkel's phone germany is considering asking the man behind all these leaks edward snowden to help explain what happened in germany green m.p. met the whistleblower in moscow to ask him to give evidence to the parliament.

they should be done i think it's important to work together with mr snowden rather than putting him in prison we'd like more clarity on these allegations and we want to make sure something like this doesn't happen again snowden worked for many years for the cia and n.s.a. so i'm sure you could tell us everything we need to know about the leaked documents because as we've seen the n.s.a. has been very scarce with providing information i also think that the organization including the n.s.a. chief keith alexander aren't always been true for they once claimed they'll never break german laws on their surveillance operations but tapping the chancellor's phone is not legal that's why i have trouble trusting u.s. intelligence officials. with the n.s.a. revelations have triggered something of a blame game in washington secretary of state john kerry pointed a finger at the intelligence services claiming the n.s.a. ran certain operations without letting the white house know. there is no course

brother the. girl so that is the that it is the. circle is there really is there over the course of a longer. carry referring there to spying by autopilot while the head of the n.s.a. is said the contrary it's policy makers not the intelligence services who select targets and journalist glenn greenwald who's been releasing snowden's leaks says despite the scandal the n.s.a. will not scale back its activities. to brazil germany and france. and spain of course in the united states is going to repeat itself continuously for the next several weeks or months and almost every country around the world to be very clear objective of you is to not just go out grow this but to keep it for as long as they can and to the big any time. if you're

a citizen of spain or anyone else you learn everything they've been doing in terms of they've. had to argue dot com for more reaction an opinion on n.s.a. leaks including an internet and interview with an encryption specialist who talks about his mission to resist spying and bring the privacy back. after eight months over a dozen guantanamo bay detainees remain on hunger strike in protest at their indefinite detention and use of torture inmates are being force fed in a brutal procedure that the u.s. military continues to defend us to see a turk in the sent this report from inside the prison center. every morning at eight am the u.s. national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous president no one likes to be spit on no one wants to have their own autumn torture hunger strikes and suicides have marred this place since two thousand and two and

they're human beings after all they're there's no reason to expect that they enjoy being here you know we pretend otherwise prisoners held indefinitely in the name of the never ending war on terror where the innocent or guilty is not our job right here j t f you know we have the court system determined that in just over a decade a total of seven hundred seventy nine prisoners the majority released without charges today one hundred sixty four remain over half of them cleared for release but still kept locked up. on the other side of the barbed wire. life is a blast. there is water in there it's nice there's nothing really bad about here just like any common american town now is awfully scared to come here but i mean it's absolutely beautiful place when you get around other stuff getting around the other stuff is not hard a lot of what goes on here is kept under a thick veil of denial and secrecy camp delta house as

a hospital and library and this is also the place where patients are force fed and even though the hunger strike is largely and officially said to be over we know that at least fifteen people are continually being force fed here today a tube is passed down through a person's nostril and pushed all the way down to their stomach before it's passed down the nose we lubricate it in we give the patient a choice do they want to have the key which is agent. area or if they want olive oil to lubricate the tube. most of our patients have been using all of the will like it in fact some of our patients are so. used to this they will. describe which nostril they want this while major world medical bodies are in agreement that force feeding is not ethical and should not be practiced the force feeding them i've got my clients of experience to guantanamo they've certainly described this torture the restraint

chair that they're strapped into they actually call the torture chair an arabic force feeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day the patients that had the civilian world that said it feel strange i've never heard of. i have not heard that good move fishes are beyond nonchalant about the highly criticized practice you might feel differently from the way i might feel uncomfortable has been the most of it i have heard but they don't even believe in what this thing anymore because they know it sounds stupid i volunteer that the procedure be demonstrated on me request a client the prisoners who have not met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured used. to the chair that is shackled our legs to the ground. strap across and they forced in a tube into our noses never in thirteen years have detainees been allowed to speak directly to a journalist while remaining at get most only leaking statements through lawyers they would love nothing more than to sit down with journalists and just tell them

you know about their lives but communicating seems to only occur here if someone was it a point where maybe they had been verbalizing a lot of hopelessness we were immediately intervening and trying to assist that person to make sure that there wasn't any thoughts of maybe wanting to harm themselves or in their lives with charts like these often used to pinpoint patients despair you asked them how do you feel right now and they'll be able to point to it we have not had a patient in this area. thank you meanwhile six suicides and dozens of suicide attempts have taken place at the detention facility we haven't seen any autopsies the u.s. government hasn't released any formal reports or findings we're now inside two active camps at guantanamo camp five fold single cells where the so-called less compliant detainees are held camp number six is one filled with communal cells when

officials deem that detainees have behaved better there will be warded by being allowed to live in groups while detainees are kept away from us what we witness are clean empty prison cells with cozy pajamas colgate toothpaste and maximum security shampoos paraded in front of journalists as proof everything is so much better here than any silly horror stories we all have heard. r.t. . cuba. still have for you this hour a toxic path to disarmament the syrian government dismantles its chemical weapons production facilities but the whole process hangs in the balance while some rebel groups refuse to take part in the process. actually make it without any federal officials. consent. to.

choose the stories they didn't. choose. to. approximately sixteen percent of the imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. coupons they enter our territorial waters they fish they load the fish into the ships and leave for europe. to day illegal fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths.

there are to live from moscow this week syria met the first ambitious deadline passed a chemical disarmament successfully dismantled the facilities used to produce toxic weapons but the tough task of eliminating the existing stockpiles lays ahead made harder by the war that continues to rage arches policy clear reports from damascus dangerous and that's how the nobel prize committee described the work of chemical weapons inspectors inside syria not to mention the tight deadline october twenty five damascus provides a detailed plan of its chemical weapons stockpiles done october twenty seven foreign inspectors visited all declared sites missed. syria finishes destroying all equipment used in the production and mixing of poison gas and nerve agents done. eliminate. whatever we can but you know this is

a very complicated the process complications fueled by so-called security concerns and that's the reason why one deadline already has been missed one of the biggest problems the team faces is how to access sites in rebel controlled areas so far the rebels have been unwilling to cooperate foreign inspectors have managed to visit twenty one of twenty three sites and although they haven't verbally blamed the rebels damascus insists it's doing its share until now. those. sites being visited are under government control and we hope those who are controlling the. groups kill them to implement what they are expected to implement it's the most difficult mission ever undertaken by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons destroying a country's chemical weapons stockpile in the midst of a civil war. syria actually stopped producing chemical weapons in one thousand nine

hundred eight as a possessed alternatives that can be a strategic substitution and are not in conflict with international law but none of this answers the reason why foreign inspectors are in damascus in the first place a chemical attack on august twenty first in which hundreds of people were killed off two rockets with sarin gas were fired at damascus as suburbs those responsible are still at large the next deadline in the destruction of syria's chemical weapons program is the middle of next year by then damascus must have destroyed or removed its entire stockpile and ambitious timeline in very difficult circumstances policy r.t. damascus. some opposition groups stand accused of trying to hamper the russia u.s. brokered disarmament process and mideast analysts are minor wanny believes the syrian government is happy to get rid of its chemical weapons because it removes an excuse for outside intervention. there is that evidence that rebels have some

their hands on some chemical weapons we've certainly seen in iraq and turkey rebels being apprehended with chemical agents components of chemical weapons in their possession. really important point and this is something i heard from a syrian government official earlier this year the syrian government has for some time now viewed chemical weapons as a liability and a burden precisely for these reasons because potentially rebels could get their hands on small amounts of these chemical agents and use them across the border in israel or turkey to then justify a military attack against the syrian government so they have been quite pleased that the international community has come together to in fact to rid them of these weapons so that excuse no longer exists for those got more stories waiting for you on our web site including facing up to reality the operator of japan's crippled fukushima nuclear plant is forced to turn to the u.s. for help in cleaning up the dangerous facility more details in our dot com we're

the dialogue process and it also made a request for the drone attacks to stop because with the record taliban pakistan had made it a precondition the drone attacks must come to an end before they come to the dialogue table but instead of the drone attacks being stop they continued so anybody who is going to suffer it is going to be the people of pakistan not the us the united states does not have the right to be judge jury and executor all rolled into one without any authority the french government proposed eco taxes hit a nerve with the public as thousands hit the streets calling for it to be scrapped immediately. french region of brittany has been rocked by protests which turn violent at least use tear gas and water cannons to disperse angry crowds hurling rocks and bottles in response eco tax imposed movies on trucks weighing more than three and a half tons has been suspended amid concerns that it could drive companies out of

plain sailing last month the f.b.i. shut down the online black market silk road seizing nearly thirty million dollars worth of bitcoins michael dementor from big coin exchange says the store of vancouver told from the store in vancouver i should say well he told us what impact this may have on the digital currency gaining public credibility. but i think it definitely has the potential to be revolutionary it basically gets your cash into a digital form where you can send it around the world instantly with no middleman we've got any money laundering policy in place where we live it users to three thousand dollars per day every transaction you make is recorded on a public ledger your name isn't it but if somebody wants to find out who was making that transaction it can be done the silk road was a perfect example of the shutting down the silk road that was they could be screwy the black market e.-bay and actually shut down which is actually

a very good thing for the currency as a whole as a lot of you will associate it associated with corn just directly with the silk road and so since it's been shut down the currency did dip about ten percent for both twelve hours and since then people realize that it's not just about the black market and it's actually a legitimate currency and it's actually got over one hundred percent since then. and we have some news just in for you this hour here in our key we're getting reports that at least five people have died as a tourist ferry sank near the tyro sort of. many russians are reported to be on board we're going to monitor this story it's obviously developing again at least five people said to be dead as a tourist ferry sank near thailand. well coming your way you can find out how europe's booming fish market is being blamed for the evening millions of africans starving but before we go here's some of the week's images from the

a teacher parents and found out about this demand that she be fired because her past was inappropriate and that it was a distraction the classroom well this was something she did in the past which was legal so this i mean if you pose for playboy you are forbidden to work in the normal world also as a former teenage boy i can tell you that any young attractive teacher will cause a distraction with the boys and wolf you can fire people for being distracting that when they have to for every teacher with a handicap or abnormal appearance on the other hand though teachers are supposed to be people for children to respect and to look up to and when your spiritual teachers warned of so of the good stuff for money to playboy it is a lot harder respect that sort of person and it sure isn't a good example for my daughter this is actually a very complex issue but i can say is that you should really try to fight the temptation to make quick money with some nude photos that could come back to haunt you but that's just my opinion.

shifting sands and alliances advances and reversals outside military interventions in stalemate these are among some of the descriptions that apply to the middle east since the start of the arab spring what are we experiencing in this church region the end of the way it's new. or merely instability and violence with no end in sight but do you think your argument about turkey banged that prodigious example of a muslim democracy that was able to separate the it's really engine from its economy still can be applied to these day that's a fair point but i spoke about in the book was how ways gokey had done so being a complete basket case and make it a go away with hyperinflation and video of all the diagonal with the tide so it she's so much. economic success and i think that was great but the problem date is of course to do one day of his and to do it has changed he now has become much more the target date you started off any criticism and more bad annoyed.
